Ive been feeding the exclusive preformance since I got into this. It seems to keep weight on the dogs and gives them plenty of energy. I have a couple of house dogs I feed kirkland signature and their coats arent near as good lookin. The exclusive comes out to about $29 for a 40lb bag, buy 5 get the 6th free.

I feed diamond Hi-energy 24/20 it keeps good weight on when the dogs are run hard, and its a reasonable price. $20 for 50 pounds.

I agree on the Diamond HiEnergy.......been feeding it for 7 or 8 years.

I would also add (not wanting to upset anyone, though) that I believe that many people who dislike their dog feed have wormy dogs and just don't realize it.

That is very true i have had that happen to me. Hard to blame the feed if the dog is full of worms! I worm monthly now

How the heck do you guys get the Diamond Hi-Energy for that cheap? I'm paying $32/50 lbs. Also, just moved to a much colder climate and before I knew it they were dropping weight fast and not even being run real hard. Had to almost double their feed...adding all the meat scraps and bacon grease I can and they still aren't gaining much. What do you worm with once a month...seems like a guy might go broke worming that often.

I feed purina and all the lean butcher scraps want. They barely touch there dog food and look the best this time of year, very solid and well muscled.

Would like to hear what people prefere for wormers????

Ted, you're saying you worm your dogs with horse wormer and it's ok on them. If so I guess that would be a good affordable way to worm the whole pack.

Lots of people use zimecterin for all kinds of critters and works great i use it for goats and sometimes dogs if their near me when its time for the goats then the dog gets a mouth full..
